Coronavirus Information

CORONAVIRUS & PETS

We have received a number of enquiries from pet owners concerned about Coronavirus in their pets.

Whilst a dog in Hong Kong has tested weakly positive for Covid-19, it has shown no symptoms and it is not yet known whether the dog was truly infected or had been contaminated by an infected person. There is, as yet, no evidence that pets can spread or be affected by coronavirus.

It is however, always sensible to employ good hygiene around pets, for example ensuring you wash your hands after touching them.

If you contract coronavirus, current advice is to avoid contact with your pet, avoiding cuddling and petting them, and where possible asking another person in the household to care for them.

Obviously this a new disease and more information may be available with time. We shall endeavour to keep our clients updated.

SAFEGUARDING YOU & OUR STAFF

Due to the confirmation of cases in the area, please could our lovely clients follow the advice below in order to safeguard our staff:

If you have symptoms please do not attend for routine appointments.

When attending for an appointment, please limit the amount of people coming with the pet.
